Speaking to the club the midfielder revealed his delight at signing for the London side, Wilshere supported the club as a boy:
It feels good, it feels special. Many people know that I’ve had a special bond with this club growing up.
People will have seen the picture of me in a West Ham shirt and I’ve got good memories of my childhood supporting West Ham, watching them at Upton Park. It feels good and of course my family and a few of my friends are West Ham fans so everyone’s buzzing.
Wilshere will link up with newly appointed Manuel Pellegrini and the rest of the West Ham squad in Switzerland at their pre-season training camp in Bad Ragaz as the club look to built on their 13th place finish from last season.
West Ham have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund winger Andriy Yarmolenko, with the German side willing to let the 28-year-old go for around €20 million.
